hullabaloo 2

Merriam-Webster online disagrees with the etymology from Wiktionary - i.e. the Indian origin story. MW gives the word a Scottish twist, or is it a Scotch twist?

Here is what its says at http://mw1.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hullabaloo

"perhaps from hallo + Scots balloo, interjection used to hush children. Date: 1762"

What do you guys say in this Indian vs Scot origin saga?
